The Hornets blanked the Flyers in three of those games, shutting out the Midland squad in games one, two, and four, before returning to home ice in Alliston for game five. That game ended with a 6-3 win for the Hornets and the right to advance to the provincial round and vie for the Schmalz Junior C cup. “I think our guys deserved to win. We capitalized on our opportunities and we had some guys step up for this series,” said Hornets head coach Sandy McCarthy. The Caledon Golden Hawks, who faced the Hornets four times in regular season play, were knocked out of competition in the quarter-final round losing to Midland in five games. Depending on the outcome of the provincial series, some teams will be playing right up to the end of May when the Schmalz cup final takes place. The Hornets will now face the Walkerton Hawks of the Western Junior C Hockey League. In the south end of the province the Essex 73s of the Great Lakes League will face the Ayr Centennials of the Southern Ontario Junior Hockey League. In Niagara, the Grimsby Peach Kings will go to the final against the New Hamburg Firebirds. In the east the Picton Pirates of the Empire B League will face the Lakefield Chiefs of the Central League. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2013-03-19 16:17:40 Post date GMT: 2013-03-19 20:17:40 Post modified date: 2013-04-02 13:39:25 Post modified date GMT: 2013-04-02 17:39:25 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
